Valspar

Pitch Cobalt

5010-2

Treat Valspar Pitch Cobalt like ink, not ordinary navy. The blue is buried under charcoal, which makes it powerful on a paneled door or office built ins. It eats light.

A slight sheen helps edges stay visible, especially on cabinet rails and stiles. Use a warm white that stays clean nearby, then judge the sample beside hardware before choosing black, brass, or nickel.

Pitch Cobalt in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
